Matthew Sweet to Release Two Albums

Pop artist Matthew Sweet has planned to make his return from a long absence – five years – in North America by releasing two albums in six weeks. The first is "Kimi Ga Suki * Raifu" which was originally released only in Japan. The album of 12 tracks that were recorded in Sweet's home is due out September 7.

The second album "Living Things" was also recorded at Sweet's home. The artist said that he likes the idea of being able to do weird or funky things when he wants. Sweet sees himself like an artist creating material that not everyone will like; but if he can make enough money to live then Sweet is happy. "Living Things" will be released on October 19.
